Punishment to Fit the Crime,

Not long ago there entered the of-
fice of a New York broker a most ex-
cited person’ who, upon ascertaining

that the broker was indeed the indi-

vidual he sought announced in no un-
certain terms that he proposed to have
satisfaction and justice.

By exercising his suavest methods
the broker managed to elicit from his
excited caller that on the previous
day, as the broker's chauffeur was op-
erating his employer's car, he had, at
the corner of Broadway and Fifty-
fourth street, nearly run down the
complainant's wife, incidentally tear-
ing from her frock a quantity of ma-
terial.

I am very sorry, indeed, said the
broker, and will be glad to do what I
can to remedy the matter~ Do you
expect that I shall get your wife a new
frock? 4

No, I Jon't snapped the angry hus-
band,*brandishing a bit of eloth. What
I ob to do is to see that you

himself. from thé Capital for the
greater part . of the time since
Parliament: prorogued, has been
again ‘spending a fortnight -in
Nova Scotia. He has Yegaled his
constituents with an .accéunt of
his stewardship and in the pres-
ence of the Canadian Manufactur-
ers’ Association has again assur-
ed his high tariff. friends that
their interests are safe in the
hands of their representatives in
the government.

In giving an «account. of_ his
stewardship at the Conservative
rally in Halifax, Mr. Borden kept
a discreet and eloquent silence in
regard to the planks Of the once
famous Halifax platform .of ‘his
Oppos:tion days. Nothing was
said as. to the carring out of for-
mer. unctuous pledges about civ-
il service reform, purity of elec-
tions; the: ‘cutting down of expen-
ditures, | Senate: reform, the en-
couragement of the’ ship-building
industry and other reforms which
used to form the theme of Mr.
Borden’s addresses when appéal-
ing for support to the electors.

He did, however, emphasize the
fact that the government last
year had introduced closure in
Parliament and modified ‘the ob-
solete rules‘ of the House of Com-
mons. so that public’ business
could be transacted with. reason-
able despatch.’? Mr: Borden, for
obvious reasons, did. not note
that these “obsolete rules’ dat-
ed as far back as 1910, and that
if they were obsolete, he, himself,
must assume responsibility there-
for since he was a member of the
Commons Committee which re-
vised the rules then and gave his

' impreMatur to these self-same
‘obsolete rules.”” Nor did he re-
fer to the fact that in introduc-
ing closure the government had
abandoned all rules of of parlia-
mentary. peocedure whether mod-
ern or obsolete, had disregarded

precedent and principle entirely,
and had defied the constitutional
rights of the minority and all
sense of British fair play.

‘Coming events cast their shad-
ow before them.

tive Association at Halifax ‘on
Tuesday last, Mr. Borden in
dealing with the naval quéstion
had. , flot.a single word to say
‘about “the emergency.”’ Herdid
not say that’ “the genius of our

ters slowly and cautiously and
to-depend ‘rather upon experi-
ments and experience’ than upon
logic.” The sentence -is ‘ilumin-
ative. ‘Certainly in dealing with
the naval question, Mr, Borden
did not proceed upon logic. Cer-
tainly be has proceedéd. ‘slowly
and cautiously,”’ and if ‘‘experi-
‘ence’ is to be’ the guiding prin-
iple, then there will be no revis-
ion to Downing Btreet rule and no
stibversion of the principle of re-
sponsible government.

Synchronizing with Mr. Bor:
uen’s dropping .of the “argument
as to the ,emergency is the “of-
ficial announcement. that Hon.
F. D. Monk is to résume his seat
in Parliament at the next session
and ,a semi-official announcement.
that the government will ‘leave
the whole naval question over till
‘the session of 1915.

Fhe conclusion is obvious. Mr,
Borden realizes that.. the emer-
gency has been worked to death
and has been. effectively buried
| by -the recent official statement
jof the Admiralty. He realizes
that he can no longer rely on the
emergency as a subterfuge for
not announcing a permanent pol-
icy. But the announcement of a
permanent policy involves an ap-
peal to. the people for ratifica-
tion. That appeal the. govern-
ment will avoid as long as it in
decency can. Political. waters are
too cold for a plunge next year if
it can be avoided by the men in
power. Therefore, the whole nov-
al question, so far as the gov-
ernment can do it, is to be shelv-
And with
the naval question out of

his seat in Parliament.

The game is so obvious that «0

The Premier also made much of

called the Star of the South, which
was found by a‘nhegréss in 1858. -t
was appropriated by the mine owner
who gave her in return a pension for

the. new owner depositing it in the

on this seciwity a loan many times
greater than the value paid for the

sold for ten ‘ites the amount paid.

Birds Build Nésts in Gourds

By hollowing out gourds and sus-
pending them from tre.s and ‘poles, an
Illinois:farmer provides nesting places
for the native. American birds, the
wren and the bluebird, and protects
them from the aggressiv~ English
sparrow, which has a teadency to mon-
opolize the desirable nesting places.
The gourds desigaed for wrens have
entrace ‘oles ab-ut the siz> of a silver
qu.rter. This iz sufficiently large for
a wren to poss through but not larg:
enough for a sparrow,

The bluebird is about th. same size
as the sparrow, so a different arrange-
ment was necessary. T.- farmer
discovered tlfat che English sparrows
would not use the gouris if they were
place in the sun, but that the blue-
birds would. -Secure nesting places
were therefore provided for the latter
by suspending the gourds from poles
placed out in the open.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.

Heat Prostration.

Heat prostration may occur to
those who are not exposed to
the direct rays of-the sun, but
who are living under conditions
accompanied by great heat and
humidity, such as workers in
laundries, bakeries, foundries,
ete. In this condition premoni-
tory symptoms or warning signs,
such ag a sick stomach, vomit-
ing, a feeling of faintness, dizzi-
ness and at times oa sense of tin-
gling throughout the body, are
usually in evidence,

During very bot weather per-
sons having these symptoms
should go to a cool, shady spot,
sit or He down and keep perfect-
ly quiet, awaiting medical at-
tendance. In heat exhaustion or
heat prostration the body tem-
perature is never elevated, but
may be below normal; the skin *
fg frequently found cool and
clammy, with free perspiration;
the pulse fs fnst and weak. The
afflicted person is very restless
and may be unconscious, The
natura) appearance is often the
same as that of a person who
bas fainted. Although in expert
hands warmth may be applied
and stimulants administered, yet
it is advised, lest a mistake be
made in determining the exact
condition of the individual, not
to give any remedies. but to
awalt the errival of a Goctor,
who should be sent for at once,
and the person removed to a
cool, well ventileted room as
soon as possible.

The dredge is making the trip from

size to pass through the loe’s, and

on each side of the stern will be added
for the trip. The dredge is aye

sary for the tug to cast th» dredge

| Shopping in Ottawa.
| In Ottawa the credit system bas be-
come so completely the habit of shop-
pers aud storekeepers alike, that it is
said the dealers even object to takin
cash. The story is told of the wife o
a Toronto newspaper man, who became
a member of the Press Gallery a few
| years ago, that when she offered to pa
| cash to her grocer, that worthy object-
ed. Bhe had asked him for a reduction
in the price of her purchases, statin
that she was willing to pay cash, en
that as everyone else seemed to de-
mand credit, and long credit at that,
she thought she ought to be given a
discount.

‘(My dear madam,’’ said he, ‘‘T
eould not allow you a discount of any
kind. Moreover, I would prefer that
you should go on the credit system like
everyone else. The books are there
and you might es well use them. I¢
woud only be « nuisance to have one
customer paying cash when everyone
else goes on credit. What would be the
use of me taking 50c. or 60c, cash up
